Icy Demons — Miami Ice

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 15, 2008 8:43 am
In case you're not familiar with them, Icy Demons are Man Man drummer Pow Pow's side project. The band also include former Bablicon member Griffin Rodriguez (a.k.a. Blue Hawaii) and others. Icy Demons' third full-length features a brand of experimental rock that sounds like synth pop mixed with mid-'70s Kraut rock. While the opening to "1850"...

Man Man Causes A Fever At Lee's

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 15, 2008 2:30 pm
Lee's Palace was nearly empty when Dragons Of Zynth went on stage. The quartet had trouble getting started, since it's difficult to work with a crowd of about 20 people, especially when you sound like a bad version of TV On The Radio. At one point, vocalist/keyboardist Aku and guitarist Akwetey told the sparse group they had better move closer and...

Song Of The Day: Mister Heavenly's "Bronx Sniper"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 22, 2011 2:51 pm
In case you forgot, Mister Heavenly is the collaboration between Islands' Nick Thorburn, Man Man's Honus Honus and Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer (no, not Joe The Plumber). "Bronx Sniper" is the opening track to their Out Of Love debut album, which comes out Aug. 16. It definitely sounds like a combination of all three bands, though the beat and weird...

I Read The News Today... For June 3, 2011

Thrice are returning with a new record dubbed Major/Minor on Sept. 20. It's described as "entirely different" than their last album, which is a relief because if a band literally released the same record over and over again, that'd be kind of, you know, awkward. Angry at mom and dad? Got a lot of xxxaggro bullshitxxx to take out on people you'll...

Together At Last: Man Man + Islands + Modest Mouse = Mister Heavenly

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) November 30, 2010 1:04 pm
Some of you might remember that Man Man frontman Honus Honus and Islands' Nick Thorburn were working on some kind of collaborative project late last year. It turns out Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer (no, not this guy) got in on this, too. The band are called Mister Heavenly, and they've just signed to Sub Pop. Their as-yet-untitled debut album...

Man Man Find Comfort In Polarizing Audiences

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 8, 2008 4:00 pm
Man Man vocalist/keyboardist Honus Honus just told me he's going to jump out of an airplane, but it's not as dire as you might think. Honus (real name Ryan Kattner) says he's going skydiving, and he could either be completely serious or joking, considering it's April Fools Day. The skydiving company provides a DVD of the experience, but he's...
